It results in high scores from what I see on the list and what I seen in game. Which is the trap I guess. Sorry to anyone that got banned that really sucks. I feel sorry for them.

It will take at least three years of honest gameplay for any of them to earn my trust again.

Even if they did come back, I would never trust them. A person who would cheat is capable of any base act and incapable of being trusted.

Why? They earned their ban. Good riddance to these ne'er-do-wells!

This gonna be good.

It's either going to bolster the "MWO Royalty"'s epeens because they can say, "Oh I fought him and won" or it's going to be the MWO royalty. I can't wait.

Um....the list is already up. In this thread even.

What king of benefit they were getting from 3rd party software ?

aimbots ?

First off, don't discuss 3rd party software here. Give the game the respect it f****** deserves, and move on.

Second, the benefits they got were enough to give them an edge, that's all. It did not assure victory, and they most assuredly still experienced defeat often enough.

Lastly, as you can see, for many of these cheaters the benefits were not worth it, as they'll be permanently losing ANY content purchased with real cash. I guarantee most cheaters have spent money on this game, as even with 3rd party hax it would take forever to work on an arsenal of mechs with only a handful of free mechbays to earn. Somewhere in the depths of 3rd party social media, there is an ever expanding river flowing with the salty tears of many battletech veterans.

So, let be honest guys.

Who's F5'ing my profile?

Sorry i could not resist a stupid joke at this level.

Good thing I don't need to worry about that.

Good work PGI, lets just hope this stops the use of 3rd party cheat programs

Why? They knew they were doing wrong and did it anyway. I've dropped with a few of the named, they never stuck out as possible hack users to me because they were just...well...average at best, usually just bad. And that's evidently while using hacks, which tells you how bad they must have really been.

I used to hunt hack users as part of my job in IT for an ISP. I did it for years for games from Quake to Battlefield 2, and there's one thing about hack users that never changes....

If they used them once, they WILL use them again if given the chance, every single time.

Is this the end? ... To be continued??

[MischiefSC]

This was just one wave. There will be more they may not get the same list treatment but more will come.

Good on PGI.

Fair enough.

I believe in redemption. Such redemption comes at a steep price, of course. An equivalent exchange: If the hackers have been around cheating for the last three years in this game, then it would take three years of getting curb-stomped like a noob, fair & square, to redeem them of their shameful past.

As a veteran Clan warrior, however, they and their lineage will be considered dezgra for all eternity, and the highest rank they could EVER hope to make in my unit would be as cannon-fodder solahma foot soldiers, armed with an AK-47 & strapped with an explosive tracking device.

I suppose you could pity them for being so **** at playing the game they needed that sort of crutch.........but nah, **** 'em.

[HimseIf]

What about people who changed the sound files to make the small laser make a 'pew' noise? Hope that's not a bannible offense as it doesn't give you any advantages.

There are not any bads just inexperienced players. With Mechwarrior it takes a long time to master everything and I am still working on a few things also since closed beta. I had to rebind a few keys.
Biggest tip for good aiming playing legit is turn down mouse sensativity in game to half and go from there.

I was hoping everyone that out scored me in the Orion chassis challenge would get banned. HAHA just kidding.

Couple of names spotted from list... saw the vid 'bout the cheat and I am flabbergasted. I certainly hope they have reliable means to detect it. I will not be crying for them being gone.
